[quote:BunBun:MV8zMjYyNjU5XzU4MzE3NjgwXzUwOEYzMDc0] We do it here all the time. As soon as someone famous or that we know passes away, people try to be the first one to post it. The deathwatch has been going on for as long as I remember. It must surely be a human pastime. I remember being a girl in the living room of the trailer and hearing of John Lennon's death. I remember my mother's reaction. I remember hearing of Elvis Presley's death. There moments marked time that things changed. The death of people changes things. This is why we speak of timelines shifting. I don't think it's as purposely noticable, but somehow, we humans know when someone significant has been taken out of the River. We are flowing down the River of Time. Caught in it'd current, we are being moved constantly down the River with the people around us. When someone is removed from the current, we notice and we feel it. Humans hardly ever talk about it though. Maybe they are afraid. [/quote]

Watching for people to cross over into eternity.
Seeing them go down into the grave.
Knowing that it will happen to each of us-even myself.
Our lives are short.
I have been watching since 1974.
We are on the deathwatch.
We are all on it.
Some people, we mourn. Others, we are glad when they go.
Others, like Rockefeller and Soros, we can't figure out how they manage to stay alive when they are so evil.
But, we do the Deathwatch.
We remember.
